The Cultivo Guarantee: Our seeds are 100% authentic Venus flytrap seeds, guaranteed to grow the real thing—not cheap imitations! Plants are hand-pollinated and each seed is harvest by us, so we know exactly when it was harvested. This ensures better germination rates and gives you the best possible chance of success
Since these seeds are open-pollinated, your plants may display a mix of traits from different cultivars—perfect for adventurous growers who enjoy discovering unique variations.
While we can't guarantee 100% germination (as with any seed), we provide you with all the tools you need, plus one of the most important factors for success - fresh, high-quality seeds!
What to Expect When Growing Venus Flytraps from Seed
- Germination time: 4–8 weeks under the right conditions
- Time to maturity: Approximately 5 years to reach flowering size
Growing Venus flytraps from seed takes patience, but the reward is worth it! Watching these unique plants grow from tiny seeds into full-sized, bug-catching marvels is an experience like no other

Quick FAQ
Why Pargo and not PUDO?
We partner with Pargo because it’s part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are kept indoors at local shops and businesses, protected from heat, sunlight and weather until collection — ideal if you prefer to collect at your convenience or aren’t home during the day.
To keep every order safe and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we deliver only via Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted for handling fragile and temperature-sensitive items.
